Hi, well it looks like I may have messed up my phone real good this time.

I've had it rooted and oc’ed sense November with no problems. About a week ago I tried to undo it all to send it in for warranty replacement (bad speaker) and semi-bricked it.

Been trying too fix it myself for the last 8 days looks like I'm may need a hand. :-)

S-OFF

HBOOT-0.82.0000

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2

I was running

Stock ROM

Kernel was the one in vision-baconbits-0.3

And my recovery was the CW one in ROM manger back in Nov

I used this method to un-root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835971

When applying the PC10IMG.zip file, I got this error in step 4 system “fail-uz”

“image unzipping fail!”

Now I still have S-off

It will boot to HTC splash screen and hangs there.

I’m not sure what kernel I have now. I think it went back to stock like the recovery (but not sure)

I’m back on stock recovery and when it boots it displays “E:Can’t open /cache/command”

When trying an update.zip I when get to the “verifying current system…” step and it displays “assert faild: apply-path_check(“/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.odex” fallowd by three long strings of numbers and letters. And then “E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip”

Adb with phone in recovery tells me it’s “offline”

C:\Documents and Settings\Me And You\Desktop\root g2\adb tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

HT09MR213455 offline

Adb does even less with phone booted to splash screen.

I do have fastboot access

When I tried pushing a new CW recovery it fails with (remote: not allowed).

Same thing if I try flashing a system.img or boot.img

C:\Documents and Settings\Me And You\Desktop\root g2\adb tools>fastboot flash re

covery vision-cwm3src3.0.0.5-1-16-11.img

sending 'recovery' (4170 KB)... OKAY [ 0.811s]

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.811s

I have re-downloaded both the update.zip and PC10IMG.zip files from the link above, And tried two different sd cards. Thank’s for taking the time to read all this and for any help you provide. Believe it or not, I’m having fun. lol

Here a few screen shots

Did you root using the rage/gfree method?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TravSpeed:
Yes
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
There is a method in the CWMod thread in Development that has a PC10IMG.zip file just for the sole purpose of installing CWMod. By any chance did you try flashing CWMod that way?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bahmanxda:
you are getting (remote: not allowed) error because you don't have ENGINEERING HBOOT installed .i looked at the screen shots too and just before s-off it said SHIP rather than ENG so as a result of that unfortunately you cant use fastboot commands to flash anything from there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TravSpeed:
I will try the cw img when I get home tonight thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Damionix:
Please, flame me not for I have read and read until I can read no more.

I am just confused and what to make sure I am following the right thread.

My Wife used Visionary r14 for some reason to permaroot her phone and it rebooted and is now stuck on the HTC Boot screen.

I go into Hboot and it shows S-on.

I do a factory reset to no avail.

From my understanding, there is still hope. Please what do I need to do to get her phone back working.

And attempting to flash back says that Main is older.

She is still stock with STOCK RECOVERY, everything.

Thanks. I still cant seem to find it, searched the entire thread. Also, I am S-ON, would this affect anything?

Thanks

I'm at work right now and its really difficult for me to search. I never had to use it, so it may be named update.zip. PM joemm and ask him if you can't find it.

Check this thread out. Read it from the beginning and look to see if the method in post 33 can work for you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Damionix:
Thanks EdKeys.

I tried that but unfortunately it just scans the file and then goes back, no option to flash or anything.

I have been told that I would need a ROM that has a version higher than my current Post OTA version.

How do I proceed? Do you know any modified Shipped ROM that could accomplish this?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
This page has instructions and a link for applying the last OTA update file. I don't know if it will work, but you can try that too.

Thanks a ton edkeys the Img on page 33 worked like a charm, it still whould not flash a rom, but with Cw I was able to restore my backup. So now that I,m back to Square one, anyone know a better un-root method?

Thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z General] Damionix:
This one didnt work either. So, I just ended up taking the phone to an HTC Repair center. The phone is still under warranty, should hear back by tomorrow from them. They are like 25 minutes drive away. They will call me for pickup when its done.

Thanks for your hep
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
That's great! If I was in your situation right now I think I would go through the root process again so as to eliminate all the restrictions that your experiencing. I.E. back to a true square one...lol

Hope they take care of it for you. Its too bad you couldn't watch to see how they fix it. Then you could start what would probably become the most popular thread for the G2 Q&As on the forum! :)

Say, has anyone been having a problem with the Clock Package? I tried to customize the alarm sounds , but it asks for an alarm sound to be selected from a ringtone. The folder is supposedly the "alarm" folder in system -> media -> audio -> alarms, but it won't register any added alarm sounds. I've put in .mp3 and .ogg files, but neither are recognized by the selection menu. Do the audio files need to have a certain time/size limit to be considered valid options? Does the app itself need to be modified?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifiweresolucky:
/Solved/

I downloaded the latest ROM from T-Mobile US's support site and it flashed properly. Then used HSPL3 to go back.

My HD2 was installed with HSPL and Android 2.2 NAND. I tried to flash stock 2.10.1 to restore it to default. Placed the LEOIMG.nbh on the root of the SD and booted into bootloader, used VOL Down to run, and received a ROM Install Failure.

Now when I boot into bootloader I am at SPL-2.08.0000 and on the green section it reads "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again".

The phone will automatically go into a grey screen with "Loading..." from bootloader but it seems to just sit there and do nothing.

Do you guys know what I should do? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
did you get 2.10.1 from the 'tmobile stock and test roms' thread? If so, its not a 'real' stock rom. It is stock, but its packaged like a cooked rom.

Use the 2.10.0 instead, or use hspl4 to apply hspl then reflash 2.10.1 over usb, then remove hspl again with hspl4.
[Nexus One General] berlingoff:
I returned my Nexus One to the stock shipping image.

I had 106MB of free internal storage.

Updated to 2.3.3 with the file linked from this thread and now have 90.99MB free internal storage.

No Google account synced, bone stock. Is this the normal amount or should I be looking somewhere to clear up more space?
[Nexus One General] brettbellaire:
Funny, I had around 30 before the update, and after, I had 45. I noticed that Adobe Flash was moved to the SD card for me. I was pretty happy.
[Nexus One General] xanatos00:
Mine also increased. Also going through my biggest apps, moving them back to phone, then moving them back to sd card yielded some gains (guesssing Gingerbread is able to store more on SD card than Froyo).

Saved a few megs between skype/dropbox/documents to go.

connect your phone to computer, run ADB shell.

type "pm setInstallLocation 2"

almost everything will be moveable.

Thanks to Rusty.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
After installing Gingerbread I did a factory reset and did not restore my old apps automatically. I had around 160MB of internal storage. Right now I have 118MB left after installing some apps.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The new A2SD api is epic, I have Flash, Firefox and Google Earth taking up less than 300Kb between them :D
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Agreed. It is so awesome!
[Nexus One General] BennyInc:
So, what does "pm setInstallLocation 2" do, exactly?

As far as I understood, it moves Flash to SD - even though you cannot manually do it via the App Manager.

What about the other Apps? Will it also move those to SD? And what about the apps (e.g. Angry Birds) that are already on SD? Will it optimize those? From what I saw, when moving Angry Birds back to phone and back on SD manually (App Manager) I gained >1MB from that alone. Will the "pm setInstallLocation 2" do this for apps like that as well?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It sets the default install location for your apps to the SD card (0 = auto, 1 = internal storage, 2 = SD card).

Also it enables almost any (PayPal, I'm looking at you!) existing installed app on the phone to be transferred over the the SD card
[Nexus One General] brettbellaire:
I moved a few back and forth, with no change. Looks like it's only flash for me.

There are still many apps that cannot be moved to SD. Facebook, twitter, maps, gmail, to name a few. I hear with CM7 you can even move those.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
System apps you've updated are stuck on internal storage.

I tend to stick the updated versions back on /system.
[Nexus One General] brettbellaire:
So removing the updates, say to facebook, would allow me to move it to SD?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
No, you'd need to remove the original copy in /system/app for that.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
you should go thru all your existing apps, even ones already on the SD card, and move them back to phone storage, then back to SD card. a google employee twittered this tip, and its a good one. most apps will get optimized and use the new system to take up even less space.
[Nexus One General] BennyInc:
I did that... but once more, on the "pm setInstallLocation 2" - would this move "all" apps (save for some exceptions) to SD? Even the ones I would not want on SD (like widgets)?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It won't move anything that's already installed. Just enable you to move them as you see fit.

Anything new installed will go straight to the SD card though, so if it's a widget or LWP you'll want to move it to the internal storage manually.
[Nexus One General] BennyInc:
Would this be an option?

1) "pm setInstallLocation 2"

2) Move Flash and others to SD manually

3) "pm setInstallLocation 0"

The last should prevent any future installs to go to SD (unless intended by the app designer of course) so no problems with LWP or widgets, but finally being able to move Flash...

Maybe I'll just try it out :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It would, however I think it would also remove your ability to move apps that haven't been given the OK by the developer.
[Nexus One General] BennyInc:
Yes, but I wouldn't have that option without the "pm setInstallLocation 2" in the first place. And "pm setInstallLocation 0" would just save me from unintended trouble later on (an update on BW would be enough otherwise to move that to SD...).

And the moved apps should stay there even after the "pm setInstallLocation 0" step I hope.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Updates leave the app where it is, it's only new installs that go direct to the SD.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Today I realized after installing the Google Maps update that the internal storage went down after the update. That means updates for system apps take up space even though the new versions are supposed to replace the old ones. :confused:
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
That is correct, it's always been that way. Titanium Backup has a handy 'intergrate into ROM' feature that moves updated system apps off the /data partition, frees up a few MB's.
[Nexus One General] vaina001:
Try Cyanogenmod 7 RC2 which has many goodies and will have 190MB of free space for apps after install, after first boot enable all apps to be installed on external storage for apps2sd to work fine (cyanogen settings) then reboot to recovery and install gapps (google apps) which will also be install on sd card. Following this will maximize your internal memory (i have 54 apps and have 127MB left). Also CM7 always has 230+MB of ram left available.
[Nexus One General] iboj007:
Actually found a good article for anyone that hasn't done this before:

http://androidforums.com/desire-tips-tricks/160560-force-apps-install-sd-without-root.html

works like a charm!
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
And it'll break apps which won't work from SD as well as all Widgets.

Actually that's wrong. I have to move 3-4 apps from SD back to "Internal" on my Nexus One every time they update. They are set in their properties to install to SD and they do, even though I've moved them back to "Internal". (Internal to me = Ext, but that doesn't matter, program doesn't see the difference)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Widgets yes, never seen and app that just won't work from SD though.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I've seen a few apps that don't like being on the SD, keyboards being a good example...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Swype runs fine from it, but disables itself on reboot. That's the only one I have experience with.

Hello,

I got my Evo today and am pretty excited! I want to get this thing rooted and some CM7 nightlies going on :) I am familiar with android/rooting, adb, fastboot, and all that. What got me is seeing the different stuff for different evo's :confused: My Evo is as follows..

Baseband 2.158.00.11.19

Software 3.70.651.1

PRI 1.90_003

HARDWARE 0003

H Boot 2.10.0001

Its the white back...

Anyway I am looking for the correct root method, and would like clockwork recovery, if possible. Once I get that I hope it is a bit easier to find CM7 for it, lol.

Thanks in advance :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
http://unrevoked.com/

Fairly quick. Make sure you have the windows drivers installed [if on windows]. Also, install, then uninstall HTC sync. Once the drivers are loaded, on your phone enable usb debugging, connect to pc in CHARGE only, then run unrevoked, and put your phone down. It should reboot 2 times...taking roughly 5-8 minutes, give or take, and you'll be all set. You'll be on clockwork recovery by default, and you can upgrade to the latest recovery using rom manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:

Disconnect the phone from the pc. Boot into the bootloader by turning your phone off, then holding vol+down as is turns on. The select recovery. Also tell me if it says S-OFF at the top. If you get the red triangle, you're rooted, but no recovery and I can give you the clockwork recovery. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What is Zysploit?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I have no clue, must be something to do with the unrevoked, because as soon as I clicked force close the unrevoked app popped up the error message..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well basically re-run the whole process from the begging, the unrevoked on the comp I mean.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Again, as soon as the unrevoked says running root, I get a force close. Once ZI click force close I get the4 error... Then it rebootsw my phone. I will go back to regular compatibility.

Same, it says found evo, then pushes recovery, after that it says running root, then I get the FC.

Perhaps flashing that recovery file is causing the error?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
At that point, let it sit. Your phone should be sitting on the home screen idle, charge only. No apps running, when you start the unrevoked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
That is how I have it, on home, no apps. the FC I think is part of the unrevoked?

The first time I ran it was saying success, then rebooting. now as soon as uit starts running root i get the FC on Zyploit, Zyploit sounds like exploit..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Correct, just let it sit, you may get some fc's, but it should still reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
No I am getting the FC and as soon as that happens the unrevoked app gives me a error, asking me if firmware is to new. Phone then reboots, unrevoked does nothing from there...

OK I uninstalled that app and its going through process of rooting again :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
It WORKED!!! I booted into recovery via unrevoked! It stayed in recovery for a minute and rebooted into home, not sure why but it did. Unrevoked says DONE! Sorry for the trouble, whatever the fail was the first time left the app on the phone. Once i removed that app unrevoked was able to re-run, to success :)

How do I boot into recovery? lol

and CM7 will work for my phone, please yes!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I had you do the other things because I speculated that the "mystery" app was the issue and it was. No trouble, I'm here to help. And yes CM7 will work on your phone. Just update to clockworkmod 3.0+ via rom manager, or boot back into the bootloader and select update [installs cwm 3.0+]. And install the lastest gapps. :)

Edit: You boot into recovery the same way, power off, hold vol+down, now into bootloader, scroll and select recovery and now you're in recovery. Once in CM7, if you hold the power button, select reboot, and you can select recovery there.
